IT'S SO HARD TO STAY MAGICAL |OPEN| HERE IN THE REAL WORLD
Things had been different since Alayna graduated. She missed the cool breeze that swept over the black lake, the smell of well worn cushion and fresh parchment, and the sincere, genuine encouragement from Professor Sinstra. For an intern at the department for magical creatures, Alayna sure didn't see very many creatures at all.
Of course, all the writing and filing was crucially beneficial to the welfare of magical creatures, beast and being alike. And Alayna was so very grateful for her internship, especially since her dear Xenophilius was working here alongside her. Well, at least, in the same building. They had been able to spend significantly more time together as Camp Counselors, but now with all the busy work... surprised Alayna how someone in such close proximity could still be so far away. They're relationship was just as soft and wonderful as always, but secretly she'd hoped to be working outside with all manner of creatures and have Xeno by her side. She hadn't even realized she had such an expectation until she'd been disappointed by it. Reassuring herself, Alayna tried to focus on her work and remember that those adventures would surely come. Just not quite yet.
Continuing her menial filing tasks, Alayna hummed an odd, dreary tune and daydreamed, rather hopeful that pleasant company would appear before too long. But, it didn't. So, Alayna collected her papers and stored them away neatly in her knapsack along with her wand. Sliding her black jacket over her work clothes, she left. She'd decided to take a stroll through London for a spell, simply for a change of pace.
